Currently Inspired by: Change

Anastasia Andenmatten Floral Design San Francisco

This moment in history will forever be marked by deep sadness and suffering. But also awareness, education, action, and most importantly, change. 

I’ve spent the past few weeks, one day at a time, both learning and unlearning what it means to be racist, and what it means to be anti-racist. And although this is an admittedly new territory for me, the pursuit to learn more will never stop. I recognize I have an immediate obligation as a small business owner to use my sphere of influence, however tiny that may feel at times, to play a participating role in the fight for justice for the Black community and all BIPOC. 

I vow to make a commitment to allyship and equality, and to work only with those who strive for the same. For my business, this effort will apply to: 

  • the farms and suppliers I source from

  • the vendors I collaborate with

  • the contractors I hire 

  • the artists I draw inspiration from 

  • the places I shop 

  • the models I hire

  • the fellow small businesses I support 

  • the clients I partner with 

Black lives matter. The fight for anti-racism isn’t a political issue, it’s a human rights issue. 

May this moment forever change our world for the better. 

Below is some inspiration I’ve sourced for the upcoming season and a particular project I’ve been working on. Clockwise from top model images are by Kamyiis, Oye Diran, Kristen Marie Parker, and Lane Marinho. All other images unknown from Pinterest. Stay tuned -- I hope to share more inspiration here in upcoming posts!
